Forecasts

Alzahir (10/3), Kodi Lion (9/2), Quest For Fun (11/2), Rhythm Master (6/1), King Of Fury (9/1), Obelix (12/1), Coppull Hall Lane (12/1), Mysteryofthesands (14/1), Tropez Power (14/1), It Just Takes Time (16/1), Starliner (18/1), Touchwood (25/1), Count Palatine (33/1), Another Investment (33/1)

A competitive handicap with the vote going to KODI LION, who was progressive for Charlie Fellowes last season and could go on again for his new yard this time around. Recent winner Alzahir seems likely to go well again, with hat-tricker seeker King of Fury and Mysteryofthesands others to consider.
